Proof reaches far beyond whats written in the bible. You remind me of a teenage me though. And if that is the case or accurate, then you'll just have to wait until you 'wake up'? or fall down the rabbit hole.
What in the blazes are you rambling on about my deluded friend ?
Your beliefs originate with a set of books written by unknown men about invisible men in the sky going by the name of jesus or yahwhe or both. You've not a shred of evidence that confirms the validity of the claims made in these books or any claims made by you.
So in a nutshell , you happen to believe something so what exactly ?
My knowing orginates from what I have seen, Which lead me to Christ, which lead me to the bible. Not the other way around. But it will take a week or so for me to type up my story to share.

That's funny because most of the Christians i've known throughout life (family, friends - almost all of them Catholics) are very pro-Zionist/Israel, including myself, even though I have been a proud Agnostic since early adulthood.
Having a Minor in World Religions, I know that many Protestants consider themselves "Christians" in an attempt to distinguish themselves from "Catholics" and The Roman Catholic Church. Both, however, believe that redemption of the soul (and Mankind), can only be achieved through Jesus, who Christians believe to be the Son of God. Regardless, Christianity originally began as a Jewish sect in ancient Israel and all of the first Christians were Jews, including Jesus himself.
Now a major doctrine of Christianity involves the "Second Coming" or Jesus' return to Earth shortly after the rebirth of the nation of Israel or the re-gathering of all of the Jews back to the Land of Israel (depending on Denomination), where upon he will establish a new Kingdom - basically a messianic "Utopian" world establishment.
Regardless, Israel and its national religion, Judaism (remember, Israel is the only nation ever to have it's nationality, ethnicity, and religion combined as one identity) is the origin for all three major religions: Judaism and her two daughter religions, Chistianity and Islam (all being Abrahamic religions). I was always fascinated by studying the history, rivalry, and unfortunate frequent hatred between the religions and when a Christian or Muslim believer speaks about their hatred or wish for the destruction of Israel and/or the Jews, it's really a direct assault upon their own religion since Christianty and Islam are inextricably linked to Judaism. BUT, opposition to certain policies of the government of Israel without the 'hatred' or 'wish for destruction' of Israel itself or the Jewish (Hebrew) people is commonly confused by many, even though some term it in a veiled attempt to hide their true hatred of the Jewish people and of Israel.
Interesting topic for psychology papers!

It is NOT possible to say, "I am a Christian" and not love the Jewish people. The Bible teaches that love is not what you say, but what you do. (I John 3:18) "A bell is not a bell until you ring it, love is not love until you share it."
....Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed." Point: G-d has promised to bless the man or nation that blesses the Chosen People. History has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the nations that have blessed the Jewish people have had the blessing of G-d; the nations that have cursed
the Jewish people have experienced the curse of G-d.
.....Paul recorded in Romans 15:27 "For if the Gentiles have shared in their (the Jews) spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things."
.... "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee" (Psalm 122:6). The scriptural principle of prosperity is tied to blessing Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
......."Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee" (Psalm 122:6)
Are these Versus not in your Bible?

I admit that I have exercized my free will and washed my brain with "religion".
My human nature is evil. My spiritual nature is good.
My will is infected with seven deadly sins, pride, sloth, greed, lust, envy, wrath and gluttony.
Pride is an excessive belief in one's own abilities.
Envy is wanting what others have, be it status, abilities, or possessions.
Gluttony is the desire to eat or consume more than you require.
Lust is a powerful craving for such as sex, power and money.
Anger is the loss of rational self-control and the desire to harm others.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain.
Sloth is laziness and the avoidance of work.
I choose by my free will to use religion and the seven virtues or spiritual disciplines they wash my brain with to make myself a better person.
1. Faith is belief in the right things (including the virtues!).
2. Hope is taking a positive future view, that good will prevail.
3. Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others.
4. Fortitude is never giving up.
5. Justice is being fair and equitable with others.
6. Prudence is care of and moderation with money.
7. Temperance is moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed.
The Seven Contrary Virtues which are specific opposites to the Seven Deadly Sins: Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Abstinence against gluttony, Chastity against lust, Patience against anger, Liberality against greed, and Diligence against sloth.
The Theological Virtues: Love, Hope and Faith, as defined by St. Paul (who placed love as the greatest of them all).
The four Cardinal Virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Courage and Justice.
The Seven Heavenly Virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, Prudence.
The Seven Corporal Works of Mercy are a medieval list of things you can do to help others: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, give shelter to strangers, clothe the naked, visit the sick, minister to prisoners, and bury the dead.
The Seven Bushido Virtues: Right decisions, Valor, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honor, and Loyalty.
Do I attain perfection of any of these, or master any of these. No.
In my heart the virtues conflict with the vices.
Jesus lived the seven virtues to perfection.
As such he is my role model of behavior while I am here on this earth.

Is that what Jesus would do? Cigarettes and Coke huh? I guess you neglected to read that part in the bible about the body being a temple. I would be more concerned about lung cancer and heart disease than if Aliens are evil if I were you.
He who is without sin, cast the first stone. You have a big gay tattoo on your arm, you defiled your temple too so don't throw stones at me.

Are you just wanting to stir the pot to start a fight.
Maybe your a troll?
Anyway...Welcome to the forum?

I'm not a Christian so your silly laws don't apply to me. I use reason and logic as my tools of wisdom. No need to throw stones, you might as well throw them at yourself with every drag of your satan stick.

Christians don't believe in Dinosaurs because they think the world is only 12,000 years old.
I'm not attacking people for believing in aliens. I want them to know yes UFO's exist, yes various ET species exist, and yes they are all demons.
